A large Guanacaste tree near where we started our tour. We were lucky to have a sunny day as it is the rainy season now.
This is a type of mahogany tree in the park. The guide said that if they were to cut this tree down for the timber, it would be worth about 50 thousand U.S. dollars. But of course this is in the park so is protected and they won't be cutting it down.
This is an interesting orange mushroom growing up between dead branches on the forest floor.
Even though it is pretty, it is very poisonous, so don't eat it!
Another type of interesting mushroom.
More of the same kind of mushrooms.
There were lots of wild banana trees in the park, several different kinds of bananas.
Banana blossoms are so pretty and interesting.
This is a Humming Bird nest, but no Humming Birds here now. The guide said that the eggs are about the size of an aspirin.
These are cacao pods with chocolate beans inside.
We have seen these trees before. It is hard to imagine just how tall they are and how big around are these exposed buttress roots.
These were wierd formations on the leaves of this plant. They looked like little green worms that just fell onto the leaves, but they are something the plant grows on it's own leaves as protection so critters won't eat them.
This is a banana flower petal just floating in one of the large water puddles.
I don't know what type of fruit or nut these were but they looked pretty.
Another type of mushroom growing on a dead log.
